Mount Everest
Near the summit of Mount Everest up in the Death Zone, on the edge of the North Face, there's a cave the climbers called old green boots, climbing towards the summit some Mountaineers like the stopped and pay their respects to the Indian climber who lies preserved in the ice, exactly where he perished 21 years ago in 1996, with his green boots marking his grave. Nobody ever mentions his name, nor discussants how he died, his body is regarded as a warning they can expect no mercy in the Death Zone. On the morning of May 14 2006, a group of Mountaineers were shocked to find another climber frozen, but still alive and sitting next to green boots, believing there was nothing they could do, they decided to leave the stricken man and carry on. More than 30 people walk past the stricken man that night and yet a double amputee Mark Englis was the only one blamed for not helping him.But once you read the whole story and know all the facts that happened in that particular day... �who would you blame?

High Exposure
For generations of adventurers, Mount Everest and the world's greatest peaks have provided the ultimate testing ground for resolute men and women. So why climb? David Breashears answers this question with an intimate look at his life.
The Lost Explorer
In 1999, Conrad Anker found the body of George Mallory on Mount Everest, casting an entirely new light on the mystery of the lost explorer. On 8 June 1924, George Leigh Mallory and Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine were last seen climbing towards the summit of Everest. The clouds closed around them and they were lost to history, leaving the world to wonder whether or not they actually reached the summit - some 29 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. On 1 May 1999, Conrad Anker, one of the world's foremost mountaineers, made the momentous discovery - Mallory's body, lying frozen into the scree at 27,000 feet on Everest's north face. Recounting this day, the authors go on to assess the clues provided by the body, its position, and the possibility that Mallory had successfully climbed the Second Step, a 90-foot sheer cliff that is the single hardest obstacle on the north face. A remarkable story of a charming and immensely able man, told by an equally talented modern climber.
